Fact 10: Financial Implications
Embarking on the journey of correcting prognathism often comes with a price tag. While minor orthodontic treatments might be somewhat affordable, surgical interventions can dent finances considerably. The costs aren’t just limited to the procedure itself. Pre-operative tests, post-operative care, therapy sessions, and even time off from work add to the financial burden.
It’s essential to approach the treatment journey with a clear financial blueprint. Researching potential costs, exploring medical insurance coverages, and even scouting for clinics or hospitals offering payment plans can ease the strain.
Moreover, some regions or countries might offer subsidized treatments or have specialized centers dedicated to maxillofacial conditions, offering quality care at reduced rates. Medical tourism, where individuals travel to countries offering quality treatments at lower prices, is also an option to consider. (10)
